NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a suite of neural rendering technologies developed by NVIDIA for its RTX graphics cards; its neural networks run on the Tensor Cores of GeForce RTX GPUs. The best-known part, DLSS Super Resolution, renders a game at a lower resolution and reconstructs a higher-resolution image from the current frame, earlier frames and motion data. Later versions added AI anti-aliasing at native resolution (DLAA), generated frames inserted between rendered ones (Frame Generation and Multi Frame Generation), an AI replacement for ray-tracing denoisers (Ray Reconstruction) and, with DLSS 5 in 2026, a "3D-guided neural rendering" model that adds lighting and material detail to each rendered frame.[1][2]

NVIDIA showed DLSS with the Turing-based GeForce RTX 20 series in August 2018, and the first games to use it, Battlefield V and Metro Exodus, received support in February 2019.[2][3] The technique was rebuilt as a general, temporal network in DLSS 2.0 (March 2020), and NVIDIA has since added frame generation (DLSS 3, 2022), Ray Reconstruction (DLSS 3.5, 2023), transformer models and Multi Frame Generation (DLSS 4, 2025), a second-generation transformer and up to 6X frame generation (DLSS 4.5, 2026) and DLSS 5 (2026).[4][5]

For virtual reality, the SDK has supported multiple views since its 2.1 generation in 2020, using one DLSS instance per view (in VR, typically one per eye). The first VR games with DLSS, No Man's Sky, Into the Radius and Wrench, added it in May 2021.[6][7]

History

DLSS 1.0 (2018-2019)

NVIDIA presented DLSS in August 2018 alongside its first GeForce RTX 20 series cards. HotHardware reported on August 22, 2018 that the company described it as "a technology that applies deep learning and AI to rendering techniques", running on the new Tensor Cores of the Turing architecture to smooth jagged edges with a small performance cost.[2] A September 2018 NVIDIA article stated that Turing GPUs using DLSS ran "up to 2x faster than previous generation GPUs using conventional anti-aliasing techniques".[8]

DLSS reached shipping games in February 2019. An update to Battlefield V on February 13 added it, with NVIDIA claiming frame rates "up to 40%" higher with ray tracing on, and Metro Exodus supported it at launch, with NVIDIA claiming up to 30 percent faster performance. Support was restricted by GPU and resolution: in Battlefield V, for example, DLSS was available at 3840 x 2160 on all RTX cards but at 1920 x 1080 only on the RTX 2060 and 2070, and the option switched itself off for unsupported combinations in Metro Exodus.[3] NVIDIA later listed the limitations of this first version: it had to be trained for each new game, it was limited in the GPUs, settings and resolutions it could be enabled on, and, in Control, it "tended to struggle in areas with objects in motion".[4]

DLSS 2.0 (2020)

NVIDIA announced DLSS 2.0 on March 23, 2020; the first titles named were Control, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, Deliver Us The Moon and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. The new version takes two inputs from the game engine, the aliased low-resolution frame and its motion vectors, and applies the motion vectors to the previous high-resolution output to estimate the next frame. A convolutional autoencoder then uses the current low-resolution frame and the previous high-resolution frame to build the new frame pixel by pixel. NVIDIA trained the network against offline-rendered 16K reference images on its DGX supercomputers, and because it was trained on non-game-specific content, one generalized network worked across games. NVIDIA said the network ran twice as fast as the original, gave image quality comparable to native resolution while rendering one quarter to one half of the pixels, and offered Quality, Balanced and Performance modes, the last allowing up to 4X super resolution such as 1080p to 4K. It also became available to Unreal Engine 4 developers.[4] NVIDIA's Tony Tamasi told PCGamesN that the network could "basically solve for all the game variability".[9]

NVIDIA senior research scientist Edward Liu described the redesign in a 2020 GTC Digital talk, saying the team had reworked DLSS "from the training methodology, loss function, the dataset, how the algorithm interacts with a game engine".[10]

DLSS 2.1 and VR support (2020)

In September 2020, during an r/nvidia question-and-answer session, NVIDIA described SDK version 2.1 with three additions: an Ultra Performance mode with 9x scaling for 8K output on the GeForce RTX 3090, support for dynamic resolution, and VR support. The feature list posted by NVIDIA community marketing manager Randy Niu stated that "DLSS is now supported for VR titles".[11][12] The revision history of the programming guide records that a section on "DLSS in VR applications" was added in June 2020 and that the guidance was broadened in December 2020 to make clear that the feature applies to any multi-view use, not only VR.[6]

DLSS 3 and Frame Generation (2022)

NVIDIA announced DLSS 3 on September 20, 2022, at GTC, for the GeForce RTX 40 series based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Its new component, which NVIDIA then called Optical Multi Frame Generation, feeds pairs of super-resolved frames, the engine's motion vectors and motion data from Ada's Optical Flow Accelerator into a convolutional neural network that generates an additional frame for each rendered frame. The optical flow step tracks elements that engine motion vectors do not model, such as particles, reflections, shadows and lighting. Combined with Super Resolution, NVIDIA said, AI reconstructed seven-eighths of the displayed pixels. Because frame generation runs as a GPU post-process, it can raise frame rates in CPU-limited games. DLSS 3 integrations include NVIDIA Reflex, which synchronizes the CPU and GPU to keep system latency low. NVIDIA claimed up to 4x the frame rate of rendering without DLSS, listed more than 35 games and applications that had announced support, and set DLSS 3 to debut on October 12, 2022, with the availability of the GeForce RTX 4090.[13]

DLSS 3.5 and Ray Reconstruction (2023)

DLSS 3.5, announced on August 22, 2023, during Gamescom, added Ray Reconstruction, an AI model that replaces the hand-tuned denoisers of ray-traced rendering and generates pixels between sampled rays. NVIDIA said it was trained on offline-rendered images and that the DLSS 3.5 models were trained with five times more data than DLSS 3. Unlike Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction runs on all GeForce RTX GPUs. The first titles named were Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and its Phantom Liberty expansion, Portal with RTX, Chaos Vantage, D5 Render and NVIDIA Omniverse. At the time NVIDIA counted DLSS in "over 330 released games and apps".[14]

DLSS 4 (2025)

DLSS 4 was announced at CES on January 6, 2025, with the GeForce RTX 50 series. Multi Frame Generation, exclusive to RTX 50 GPUs, generates up to three additional frames per rendered frame; NVIDIA claimed frame rates up to 8X those of brute-force rendering when combined with its other DLSS features. The frame generation model was redesigned to be 40 percent faster and use 30 percent less VRAM, replacing the hardware optical flow step with an AI model, and Blackwell GPUs use hardware flip metering to pace the generated frames. Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction and DLAA moved from convolutional networks to a transformer model with twice the parameters, available on all GeForce RTX GPUs. NVIDIA said 75 games and apps would support Multi Frame Generation at launch, and the NVIDIA app gained a DLSS Override setting to apply newer models to existing games.[15]

An accompanying NVIDIA research report describes the transformer as "a novel transformer-based architecture specifically tailored for NVIDIA's GPU architecture", using about four times the computation of the earlier CNN within a similar frame budget and trained and run at FP8 precision. It also states that each Multi Frame Generation frame takes about 1 ms on average on an RTX 5090, compared with about 3.25 ms for a 4K DLSS 3 generated frame on an RTX 4090.[16]

DLSS 4.5 (2026)

At CES on January 6, 2026, NVIDIA introduced DLSS 4.5. Its second-generation transformer model for Super Resolution uses "five times the compute power of the original transformer model" and was trained on an expanded dataset. FP8 support on RTX 40 and 50 series GPUs offsets the cost, while RTX 20 and 30 series cards, which lack native FP8, pay a heavier performance price for the new models. NVIDIA said DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution was supported in over 400 games and apps.[17] Two RTX 50 features followed on March 31, 2026, through an NVIDIA app update: Multi Frame Generation 6X, which produces up to five generated frames per rendered frame, and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, which changes the multiplier during play to hold a target frame rate or the display's refresh rate. NVIDIA listed GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.97 WHQL or newer as required for all features.[18]

DLSS 5 (2026)

NVIDIA announced DLSS 5 at GTC on March 16, 2026, describing it as a real-time neural rendering model that adds photorealistic lighting and materials, such as subsurface scattering on skin, the sheen of fabric and light-material interactions on hair, to each game frame using the frame's color and motion vectors. Jensen Huang called it "the GPT moment for graphics". Developers get intensity, color grading and masking controls, and publishers named at the announcement included Bethesda, Capcom, NetEase, Tencent, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. Games.[19] On September 1, 2026, NVIDIA announced it as available in NBA 2K27 on all GeForce RTX 50 series desktop and laptop GPUs and for GeForce NOW Ultimate members. NVIDIA describes the model as designed to operate deterministically, on a one-frame-in, one-frame-out basis; it is optional and can be combined with Super Resolution, Multi Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction, and games integrate it through NVIDIA Streamline or an Unreal Engine 5 plugin.[5]

How it works

Super Resolution and DLAA

DLSS Super Resolution builds a high-resolution output "from information gathered over a series of frames". According to NVIDIA's programming guide, the game engine must use DirectX 11, DirectX 12 or Vulkan and supply, every frame, the raw color buffer, accurate screen-space motion vectors, the depth buffer and (for HDR input) an exposure value. The engine also applies a sub-pixel jitter to the camera each frame, so that DLSS can emulate a higher sample rate by integrating different sample positions over time, and sets a negative texture mip-map bias so that textures are sampled at the display resolution rather than the lower render resolution. DLSS runs in post-processing before tone mapping, as close to the start of post-processing as possible.[6]

The game chooses its render resolution from NVIDIA's "optimal settings" query for each quality mode. The programming guide lists these per-axis scaling ratios between output and input resolution:[6]

Mode Scaling ratio (per axis)
Ultra Performance 3.0
Performance 2.0
Balanced 1.724
Quality 1.5
DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing) 1.0

DLAA is the case where the input and output sizes are equal, so the network is used only for anti-aliasing at native resolution. The guide also documents named model "presets"; in its March 2026 revision, preset K is the default for DLAA, Quality and Balanced, preset M for Performance and preset L for Ultra Performance. Presets A to E were deprecated and then removed from the guide in 2025, and the March 2026 revision says preset F will be deprecated.[6]

Frame Generation

NVIDIA's Frame Generation SDK describes the feature as an interpolation step: it takes the color buffers of the current and previous rendered frames, plus depth, motion vectors, camera matrices and optional user-interface data, combines engine motion with predicted optical flow, and produces a frame that falls in time between the two. Because the in-between frame can only be made once the later frame exists, the generated and rendered frames must be presented in order with careful timing. The guide notes the method is particularly effective when a game is CPU-bound. Frame Generation requires a GeForce RTX 40 series GPU or newer, and Multi Frame Generation an RTX 50 series GPU, on Windows 10 20H1 or later; NVIDIA recommends integrating it through its Streamline SDK.[20]

Hardware support

NVIDIA's DLSS page lists the following support by GPU generation as of October 2026:[1]

Feature RTX 50 series RTX 40 series RTX 30 series RTX 20 series
Super Resolution Yes Yes Yes Yes
DLAA Yes Yes Yes Yes
Ray Reconstruction Yes Yes Yes Yes
Frame Generation Yes Yes No No
Dynamic Multi Frame Generation Yes No No No
3D-Guided Neural Rendering (DLSS 5) Yes No No No

Use in virtual reality

Section 3.17 of the Super Resolution programming guide, "Multi-view and Virtual Reality Support", states that DLSS supports multiple views, including VR, by creating one DLSS instance per view, which in VR "will likely correspond to each eye". Because many VR titles render both eyes into one render target, the guide tells developers to use sub-rectangles to restrict each instance to its part of the image.[6] The 2026 Frame Generation guide likewise lists "Stereoscopic Views (VR)" as a case where each eye can have its own Frame Generation instance.[20]

The first VR games with DLSS arrived in NVIDIA's May 2021 game update. NVIDIA stated that DLSS "doubles VR performance at the Ultra graphics preset" in No Man's Sky, maintaining 90 FPS on an Oculus Quest 2 connected to a GeForce RTX 3080; that it accelerated Wrench "by up to 80%" in VR; and that in Into the Radius it improved anti-aliasing, reducing shimmering and stair-stepping.[7] UploadVR noted that DLSS had not appeared in any VR game before this, despite demand from the PC VR community.[21]

Microsoft Flight Simulator added DLSS in Update 10 in September 2022. MIXED reported that the YouTuber VR Flight Sim Guy, who experimented with settings (including for the Varjo Aero), saw a large frame-rate increase, especially in Performance mode, in exchange for a small loss of sharpness, and that frame generation from DLSS 3 was not part of that update.[22]

DLSS has also been used in VR research hardware. Reality Labs Research's Tiramisu prototype, shown in the SIGGRAPH 2025 Emerging Technologies program, has a resolution of 90 pixels per degree and brightness of up to 1,400 nits; Meta said its Unreal Engine 5 demos used NVIDIA's DLSS 3 to offset the high rendering cost.[23] UploadVR's hands-on said the demo ran on a desktop PC using DLSS 3, with Epic's Electric Dreams sample as the main scene.[24]

Developer integration and licensing

NVIDIA publishes the DLSS SDK on GitHub; the public repository was created in July 2021 and its latest release as of October 2026 is DLSS 310.9.1, published on September 8, 2026.[25] The SDK is distributed under the proprietary NVIDIA RTX SDKs license, which permits integrating it into applications but prohibits reverse engineering or distributing the SDK as a stand-alone product.[26] The programming guide lists an NVIDIA RTX GPU (GeForce, TITAN or Quadro) as the hardware requirement and supports both Windows and Linux.[6] NVIDIA's developer site offers an Unreal Engine plugin for versions 5.5 to 5.8 covering Super Resolution, DLAA, Ray Reconstruction, Multi Frame Generation and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation; Super Resolution in Unity 2021.2 and later; and plugins for Streamline, its open-source cross-vendor integration framework.[27]

Reception

The first version was criticized for image quality. Writing in 2020, Igor's Lab said that the immature technology "led to massive blurring, artifacts and other lost image information", citing Battlefield V, Monster Hunter: World and Anthem.[28] PCGamesN similarly described DLSS 1.0 as producing "blurry lines and flickering hair strands instead of crisp images".[9] By the time of Igor's Lab's own test, DLSS 2.0 had been "showered with praise in recent reviews".[28]

Frame generation drew attention to latency. Summarizing Digital Foundry's first look at DLSS 3 on a GeForce RTX 4090, Tom's Hardware explained that holding back two rendered frames in order to insert a generated frame between them increases input lag, which is why NVIDIA required Reflex in every DLSS 3 game. In Portal with RTX, DLSS 3 with Reflex measured 56 ms of input lag, compared with 95 ms for native 4K rendering with Reflex and 129 ms without it. Digital Foundry also found artifacts where geometry overlaps in motion, and the frame-rate multiplier shrank as native frame rates rose; Tom's Hardware concluded that DLSS 3 would not be great for competitive shooters such as Overwatch and Apex Legends, where input lag matters as much as frame rate.[29]

DLSS 5 was controversial from its announcement. Engadget reported that critics called it an "AI slop filter" and said demonstrations made faces look smoothed and glossy; artist Karla Ortiz called it "so disrespectful to the intentional art direction of devs". NVIDIA responded that "game developers have full, detailed artistic control", and Jensen Huang said the critics were "completely wrong".[30]
